The Lovely Magnolia Leaf, by Susan C. Kussman Miller I happened to find the lovely magnolia leaf that my Grandson "Little Drew" had presented to me, and I was so proud of that leaf!

A Green Pine I See
Through the trees, a green pine I see-- So straight and tall it seems to me... Its branches lifting up in praise to the Creator, our Father.
